Fridays With Frank

TRIGGER WARNING FOR POSSIBLE TRIGGERS IN THE EPISODE: ALCOHOLISM, DEPRESSION, MENTAL ILLNESS

For our inaugural episode of this show, I decide to interview a college friend Tom Harrison (M.S. in Experimental Psychology) . He discusses his research, and the topic he chose is mental health, specifically focusing on men's mental health. Apologies in advance for some popping on my portion of the audio, don't worry, I fixed it for the next one.

Clarifications/Further Discussion:

Some clarifications about certain points about in the episode.

- This is a discussion about our opinions/experiences in the topics we discussed, so there may be things that may not ring true to all listeners, but neither of us spoke with intentions to offend anyone in any way, shape, or form. 

- The change to Suicide Hotline will occur, but feasibly will not be put into place until around July 2022 (at that point it will be 988) but this number will not have texting abilities

-  If you want to donate to the Kevin Love Fund that was discussed in the episode here is the link: https://secure.eifoundation.org/site/Donation2?df_id=5040&mfc_pref=T&5040.donation=form1&_ga=2.112408071.2053770534.1596641228-113324863.1596641228

EDIT: THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED, EDITED, AND RELEASED BEFORE PUR REBRAND AS FRIDAYS WITH FRANK. WE FELT THOUGH THAT THIS IS STILL PART OF WHO WE ARE AS WE GROW AND CHANGE, AND SO IT WILL STAY UP. It has been a bit, but in this episode, we decide to switch it from on M to the other, and go over some science. Apologies in advance, as there is a LOT of jargon in this episode, especially since we went over genetics, but it couldn't be helped. Don't worry though Frank was just as lost as the rest of you reading, researching, and talking about it. Also, Chase plays a prank on Teresa with a pillow, and Teresa finally admits why she is really on the podcast. Oh, and we finally got rid of the jarring transitions to an ad!

EDIT: THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED, EDITED, AND RELEASED BEFORE PUR REBRAND AS FRIDAYS WITH FRANK. WE FELT THOUGH THAT THIS IS STILL PART OF WHO WE ARE AS WE GROW AND CHANGE, AND SO IT WILL STAY UP. In this episode, we decide to stay close to home, and discuss Philly native Gary Heidnik! Trigger warning, as this case does involve topics like sexual assault and rape. We look into the reason he is at a level 22 on the Evil Scale, and Teresa freaks out the fact that she knows where this is. We also get into some 3Oh!3 for a bit, and as always, Chase is by our side to give reactions the entire time.

EDIT: THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED, EDITED, AND RELEASED BEFORE PUR REBRAND AS FRIDAYS WITH FRANK. WE FELT THOUGH THAT THIS IS STILL PART OF WHO WE ARE AS WE GROW AND CHANGE, AND SO IT WILL STAY UP.. In this episode, we get to the good stuff, well not the "good" stuff, but you know what we mean. We get to go over the real fuckery of Katherine Knight, and what she did to her victim, John Price. Heads up, this one is a doozy, and there definitely is a possible trigger issue, so shield the ears of the tiny innocent ones, aka children. We also go into some mini-rants, and discuss the weird dichotomy of Maryland.

EDIT: THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED, EDITED, AND RELEASED BEFORE PUR REBRAND AS FRIDAYS WITH FRANK. WE FELT THOUGH THAT THIS IS STILL PART OF WHO WE ARE AS WE GROW AND CHANGE, AND SO IT WILL STAY UP. In this episode, Teresa and I discuss Katherine Knight, the first woman to be given life imprisonment in Australia. We also are attempting to create more easily digestible episodes, so you'll notice that in this episode, it was a majority of the background before the crime that Katherine is known for. We also discuss how we are becoming more adult, and Teresa's terrible Aussie accent. In addition, Chase makes a few guest appearances. So buckle up for the fuckery that is Katherine Knight.

Also, we will be putting in the references in the second part of this episode, since it is a carry-over anyway, so I don't want to create duplicate info for you guys.

Shout-out to Morbid: A True Crime Podcast and Redhanded, who also covered this, and if you want people who definitely know more than either of us, than we recommend giving them a listen. If it is for Katherine Knight, their episodes are 18 and 31 respectively, but also definitely give them a listen in general as well!

EDIT: THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED, EDITED, AND RELEASED BEFORE PUR REBRAND AS FRIDAYS WITH FRANK. WE FELT THOUGH THAT THIS IS STILL PART OF WHO WE ARE AS WE GROW AND CHANGE, AND SO IT WILL STAY UP. In this episode, Teresa and I discuss the Scottish serial killer and necrophile Dennis Nilsen. Letting you know now, this one is a bit messed up, so as in the episode recording itself, this is a trigger warning for some of the things discussed (so it is probably not a good idea to blast this on your speaker during your morning commute on the train). You also get to hear our random ramblings, like always, and a quick arterial biology lesson from Teresa!

EDIT: THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED, EDITED, AND RELEASED BEFORE PUR REBRAND AS FRIDAYS WITH FRANK. WE FELT THOUGH THAT THIS IS STILL PART OF WHO WE ARE AS WE GROW AND CHANGE, AND SO IT WILL STAY UP. Listen as Teresa and I discuss one of America's most notorious cases, "America's Unknown Child", a case that is still unsolved in regards to the identity of the murderer and the victim. We discuss some common theories, choose which one we think is the most plausible, and deal with a special guest of Chase's as well.

In this episode, Teresa and I discuss the history of asylums and bring it home with our own local one of Philadelphia State Hospital, better known as Byberry Asylum. We also find out Teresa is slightly obsessed with the old people home that was built there after Byberry was demolished, and Chase also joins us, at least in his dreams.
